World City Trail

We did these scavenger hunts in three different cities during our Baltic vacation this year! they are a super fun low stakes way to explore a new city and get a feel for things without being restricted to time of a guided in person tour. We are in our 30s and sure, some clues were “easy” but some were genuinely challenging and it was fun to work out the answers together. We are already planning to do the scavenger and “escape room” version in our home city when we return!

It was great to see the sites of Innsbruck, Austria with a little bit of information. We didn’t know where exactly to go, but the tour highlighted ten key sites. It had trouble loading at times, but that has more to do with cell service in the country than with the functionality of the app. The puzzles were easy enough to solve and feel proud of ourselves! We will definitely look for World City Trail games in other cities we visit.

The app was very good. The places were a good walking distance, which made the experience more hands-on. It was a good full day activity especially if you want to make stops and enjoy the twists and turns of the city. Entering the buildings are optional and riddles could be solved without having to go inside the sites. We did the Montreal guided tour scavenger hunt and had a blast. The riddles were challenging enough to make us think but also doable. We wanted solutions to the riddles we couldn’t figure out ourselves after we skipped them. The hints could be more helpful, especially the second hint, which was too vague and a repeat of the first hint. There was also a glitch in the app for one question which made it so that we couldn’t see if the answer we put was correct or not. We deleted the app to try to see if the glitch would go away and tried to log back in, but it wouldn’t let us so we needed to switch emails, which is quite a convoluted way of logging back into your own account. P.S. definitely find free parking beforehand and walk from spot to spot because this is a full day experience and parking can be quite expensive and hard to find Overall, wonderful experience!
